Original Source: Methanol poisoning: two case studies of blindness in Indonesia.
We report two recent cases of methanol intoxication in French patients living in Bali. These intoxications were secondary to the consumption of adulterated liquor. Both patients presented acute bilateral loss of vision a few days after methanol ingestion with no sign of recovery. The fundus showed bilateral optic atrophy that was well correlated with retinal nerve fibre layer thickness measured with spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and compatible with toxic optic neuropathy. In one of the patien...

Catalysis: A step closer to a methanol economy
A ruthenium catalyst has been developed that, at a few parts per million, releases hydrogen gas from methanol, a simple bulk chemical. The advance might allow methanol to be used as a hydrogen source...
Low-temperature aqueous-phase methanol dehydrogenation to hydrogen and carbon dioxide
Hydrogen produced from renewable resources is a promising potential source of clean energy. With the help of low-temperature proton-exchange membrane fuel cells, molecular hydrogen can be converted ef...
